After walking through the streets and alleys, I finally found this shop. It looks like a traditional shop opened by a local family. It still uses honeycomb coal cakes.
We arrived a little late. The knife-cut noodles were out. What a pity. I ordered beef noodles and Tibetan steamed buns.
At the ordering place, I saw something similar to cold cakes. The locals called it Bilima? Bilina? I don’t understand... It seems to be made of glutinous rice flour, honey, milk, etc. It is very nutritious, with a strong milk and rice aroma, dotted with saffron, slightly cool and sweet, delicious.
The beef noodles are also delicious, and the soup is very fresh. Even if it is spicy, it can’t be resisted.
The Tibetan steamed buns are made into dumplings, the edges are fried very crispy, and there is a lot of yak meat. It’s delicious. Maybe I was hungry. The beef noodles haven’t come yet, and this plate is almost finished.
There are many locals here. It’s hard for ordinary tourists to find such a remote place. The things in the market have a unique charm. If I have time in a few days, I will come to eat it again.

After returning from Linzhi, I still have time to hang around. I came to check in for the knife-cut noodles that I hadn't eaten before. It seems that there are always diners, whether it is meal time or not. The knife-cut noodles are similar to the pulled noodles in Shanxi and Shaanxi, which are more chewy. The potato and beef toppings are very delicious. The accompanying sauce also tastes a bit of oil and chili flavor with vinegar. 20 yuan per serving is not expensive. I ate it all up. You can always meet all kinds of people here. Chatting while eating is also another experience
Enjoy the comfort food of Lhasa's vibrant streets! 🧩Yi Touniu: Yak hotpot. Recommended by the B&B owner, the yak meat is incredibly tender and will satisfy even beef lovers! 🧩Kangguo Lamb: We were late for the tour group and had a Kangguo Lamb meal in Bange County. The lamb was generously portioned, with a dry-pot feel, but without a noticeable mutton smell. 🧩Xunshi: Anyone who's been to Barkhor Street has probably tried this place. The mushroom chicken broth rice noodles are light and sweet, and the generous portion is enough for two people to share. 🧩A Diao: Lhasa's signature "Cha Yan." Because it uses yak milk, the milky flavor is incredibly pronounced. I'll definitely be drinking this several times a day! 🧩Altitude Bistro: An unnamed special drink with a rich berry aroma, it's a refreshing and refreshing drink! 🧩Delicious Meat Stew with Rice: I ordered the signature "Yak Beef Stew with Potatoes and Rice (Soup)." It felt like a soup mixed with rice, and the dining environment felt like a Tibetan home. Overall, the food was delicious! 🧩Ancient Tree Yogurt: Osmanthus yogurt. Plateau yogurt is generally considered sour by some, but it's great for those who can tolerate the acidity, and it's also very digestible. 🧩Floating Bar: This is the pub where Zhao Lei performed during her time on La Piao. The atmosphere is great. 🧩Ibire Steamed Bun Shop: Highly recommended!!! The fried dumplings were generously filled with beef, and the cold beef and sliced noodles were absolutely amazing. The sliced noodles were incredibly chewy, and the toppings were the perfect finishing touch! 🧩Lao Guangming Sweet Teahouse: This has been mentioned so much on Xiaohongshu, so there's no need to elaborate; it's a staple.

My bestie and I spent a month in Lhasa, eating at 90% of the city's internet-famous and established restaurants. Here's a guide to affordable, no-buy restaurants! 1️⃣ Ibire Baozi Restaurant | 💰 30r per person This is a popular restaurant frequented by many Lhasa locals and a must-try. The fried buns and sweet tea are a must-try. The fried buns are juicy! The meat filling is mixed with Tibetan spices and is delicious when dipped in chili sauce. The Tibetan noodles are also very good. 2️⃣ Ludingxiang Hotpot | 💰 90r per person I've had Chongqing hotpot here several times and it's quite authentic. The beef fat in the pot is fragrant and rich! The M9 Wagyu beef and hand-shredded tripe are both must-try items. The meat is fresh and the tripe is high quality. The new desserts are also very attractive! I recommend the full red pot, which has lots of beef fat and a wonderfully spicy numbing flavor! 3️⃣ Canse Tibetan Restaurant | 💰25r per person This is a must-try, authentic Tibetan cuisine. Their most popular dish is the beef and potato rice bowl. The beef is tender and fragrant, paired with fluffy mashed potatoes. A pot of sweet tea is a perfect complement to the greasiness. 📍Location: Not far from Shenli Square, look for the green sign! 4️⃣ Tiancun Stone Pot Tibetan Chicken | 💰85r per person This first meal in Lhasa is a true altitude sickness killer. The stone pot-braised free-range Tibetan chicken, along with lots of fresh mushrooms, is a must-try! This is truly authentic Tibetan cuisine, and they often have performances, making it a great place to take photos! 5️⃣ Fanlong Old Beijing Shabu-Shabu | 💰100r per person This restaurant has been open in Tibet for almost 30 years. Their freshly minced meat is incredibly fresh, and each portion is generous. The yak hind leg, cooked with sesame sauce, is incredibly fragrant! The roast duck is also excellent!

I even packed two to take back to the hotel 🏨. 8️⃣ Qianzhan Yak Yogurt Shop | 💰 30r per person This is a nostalgic spot very close to the Potala Palace, perfect for a photo op. I ordered ice cream with yogurt and barley yogurt cake, which was sour, sweet, and icy. The shop was filled with postcards and sticky notes left by tourists, creating a really nice atmosphere. 9️⃣ Xie's Four Seas Spicy Crab | 💰 80 RMB per person This shop has been open for almost 20 years and serves authentic seafood dry pot. The crabs are freshly caught 🔪, and the claws are almost as big as your palm 🥵. The sauce is sweet and spicy. The shop is open 24 hours, and the clams and conchs are also delicious! 🔟 Como Jelly | 💰 15 RMB per person This is a popular shop in Lhasa, very close to the Jokhang Temple. Their jelly is 5 RMB a bowl, and the fried potatoes are crispy and delicious. It's very crowded during the off-season, and you can also take it out and eat it on the street. #LhasaFood
